Soy Sauce Chicken (Rice Cooker Version)

Soy sauce chicken is a savoury and aromatic dish made by simmering chicken in a flavourful mixture of soy sauce, sugar, ginger, garlic, and spices. The result is tender, juicy chicken with a rich, glossy glaze that pairs perfectly with steamed rice or noodles.

 

Prepping time: 10 minutes | Cooking time: 50 minutes (using smart rice cooker) | Servings: 3-4

Ingredients

 

2 chicken leg quarters
3 tablespoons cooking oil
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
1 knob (2") old ginger, sliced
3-4 cloves garlic, crushed
4 dried Chinese mushrooms, soak to rehydrate and sliced
1 teaspoon 5-spice powder
4-5 tablespoons light soy sauce
3-4 tablespoons dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon brown sugar
Some water, if necessary

Instructions

1. Rub the inside of the rice cooker pot with cooking oil to prevent sticking.

 

2. Place the chicken leg quarters in the rice cooker.

 

3. Add onion slices, ginger slices, crushed garlic, and mushrooms on top of the chicken.

 

4. Sprinkle the 5-spice powder evenly over the ingredients.

 

5. Add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and brown sugar.

 

6. Turn on the rice cooker and select the “Standard” cooking mode.

 

7. Cook for 40 minutes, then check the chicken. If needed, add a small amount of water to create more gravy or adjust the consistency.

 

8. Once the chicken is fully cooked (by 50 minutes), turn off the rice cooker. Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
